Product Information

• Name: Homoterephalic acid
• Synonyms: 4-Methoxycarbonylmethylbenzoic acid methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Homoterephalic acid is a polycarboxylic acid. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of tumors, and in clinical studies, it has been shown to have anti-cancer activity. Homoterephalic acid inhibits the growth of tumor cells by inhibiting the synthesis of l-glutamic acid. This compound also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) production. Homoterephalic acid is also an inhibitor of human lung diastereomer 1210 cells, as well as erythrocytes infected with L1210 leukemia cells. Homoterephalic acid is a substrate for glycinamide ribonucleotide synthetase and can be used for the biosynthesis of thymidylate. It can be used for the synthesis of polycarboxylic acids that are important for cell metabolism and protein synthesis.
